Marlowe suggests Pride is arrogant and has a lack of awareness of others or indeed their own behaviour
Audience is reminded of Faustus' arrogance and dismissal of other forms of academic knowledge -links to his hubristic behaviour in opening scenes
Rhetorical question-adds to arrogant tone
Image of flea- Pride as insidious and invasive 
Associations with luxurious and sensual language-echoes Faustus' own desires]]> 2019-03-12 18:08:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_mcswiggan/9j9t71s7s1e6/wish/340563998 https://padlet.com/sarah_mcswiggan/9j9t71s7s1e6/wish/340764206 Tone = disdainful, angry and ignorant
Marlowe shows that Envy is ignorant because Envy reasons that because he cannot read, all books should be burnt.  Envy contrasts with Faustus because it is actually Faustus' pursuit of knowledge that leads to his damnation.
However, like Envy, Faustus is ignorant to some extent as he consistently ignores opportunities for repentance as he is consumed by envy of the powers of Hell and necromancy.
Envy is jealous of other people and would rather all the people in the world died of famine so that he could live alone.
Marlowe presents envy as angry and rude about other people.  ]]> 2019-03-13 09:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_mcswiggan/9j9t71s7s1e6/wish/340764206 https://padlet.com/sarah_mcswiggan/9j9t71s7s1e6/wish/340764254 Tone: Obsessive and mercenary.

Covetousness is shown by Marlowe to dismiss human beings for material wealth, mirroring Faustus. 
He says in Act 1 Scene 1 that he "will have them fly to India for gold" showing his strong desire for it, alike to Covetousness when he says "O my sweet gold!" This exclamatory phrase shows his excitement with such a superficial thing. The semantic field of greed and want is conveyed through the verbs 'wish' and 'desire', mirroring how Faustus never seems to be satisfied with what he has/knows. ]]> 2019-03-13 09:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_mcswiggan/9j9t71s7s1e6/wish/340764254 https://padlet.com/sarah_mcswiggan/9j9t71s7s1e6/wish/340764347 Tone = provoking empathy or pity for himself, also filled with iron anger.

 Also has a cautionary tone as he warns audience that 'some of you shall be my father' - ref. to some being consumed by wrath and also the effect of it - 'wounding myself' - Here, Marlowe may be referring to society wounding itself through conflict and war.

Associations to Faustus' wanting to wage war against the Spanish and Marlowe's cautionary approach to psychomachia-conflict of the soul and the destruction it can cause.]]> 2019-03-13 09:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_mcswiggan/9j9t71s7s1e6/wish/340764347 https://padlet.com/sarah_mcswiggan/9j9t71s7s1e6/wish/340766313 Tone = greedy, pompous, arrogant
Marlowe is perhaps trying to appeal to the richer audience members who would have led lavish lifestyles.
Gluttony eats "thirty meals a day" (and says this is not enough!).
Marlowe presents Gluttony as a comedic character who is also quite disgusting!
An actor playing Gluttony could try and show how he is impaired by his alcoholism and size in a comedic way.
Link to the semantic field of consumption which suffuses Faustus's own speech e.g. "feeds my soul"]]> 2019-03-13 09:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_mcswiggan/9j9t71s7s1e6/wish/340766313 https://padlet.com/sarah_mcswiggan/9j9t71s7s1e6/wish/340766751 The sin of laziness

Tone = relaxed, disgruntled, offended by being called from the 'sunny bank'.
Has an inflated sense of self worth - thinks that she deserves to be payed a 'king's ransom" (the enormous payment needed to buy back a captured king) to recommence talking.

Sloth is carried by Gluttony and Lechery which symbolises the characteristics of lazy people - allowing other people to do all the hard work!

As she is the only one introduced as a woman with "Mistress Minx", it shows that this sin was mainly associated with women at the time, who would have been associated with unchecked sexual appetite. Furthermore, since she says the least out of the Seven Deadly sins, it shows that women didn't have as much of a strong voice in society in the 16th century. Alternatively, as Queen Elizabeth was in power, the display of the sins as men may have pleased her as it could be inferring that women are more benevolent or also suggested the equal or even greater susceptibility of men to sin.
Also, Marlowe uses her as an opportunity to add some humour to this intense scene (where the depictions of hell and devils may have been too much for a 16th century audience) when she refers to sexual inadequacy as 'fried stockfish', and accompanied by her strange, sensual movements aids the bawdy nature of her character. MB Mephistopheles suggests to Faustus to have a mistress when he asks for a wife.]]> 2019-03-13 09:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_mcswiggan/9j9t71s7s1e6/wish/340768662
